i'm kinda pleased that it turns out that my initial vision for my relocation to #madeira was not far from correct, in that, this is where i want to be
and that the place i want to live, set up shop, is literally nearby the first place i slept on this island
for now, i am embedding into this little non-tourist town of boaventura, i am acting on my desire to be part of a local christian community, will be doing confession (which actually should be called counselling) tomorrow, and the people are seeing that i care about the small things and care about my neighbours
i may well even set up my hermitage not far from here, as far up into the gully near me as i can get, but i think, overall, from what i know about where is approved to buy and build that camacha and the upper reaches beyond it towards the area of the observatory are the most ideal
and park my boat down in the nearest marina, which i think is probably going to be in the lower parts east of Santana
lining up my ongoing residence here currently, i should be able to swing another 14 months, i love this little cottage, as much as it is cheap and shitty, its location is stellar for my needs
i never would have guessed that i was gona turn catholic... i was raised in some crappy american seventh day adventist religion but i hate it and i am kinda weirded out a bit by some parts of the catholic dogma i'm rolling with it because i can deal with it, i think if you understand the exoteric/esoteric of it all it's actually still very close to the best picture and most importantly, the apocalypsis... that is on the horizon
